Description

Discover the best of northern Mauritius with a full-day guided tour that combines cultural exploration, stunning coastal scenery, and a once-in-a-lifetime turtle swimming experience in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. This tour is ideal for travelers who want to blend sightseeing with marine adventure in one unforgettable day. Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your hotel between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM in a vehicle. Head towards the vibrant north of the island, passing through charming villages, sugarcane fields, and coastal roads, with your guide offering insights into Mauritian culture and history. The highlight of the morning is your snorkeling experience with turtles in the warm, shallow waters off the northern coast, near Mont Choisy or Trou aux Biches. After boarding a small speedboat or Glass Bottom boat, head out to a calm lagoon known for its resident sea turtles. Snorkeling gear is provided, and under the guidance of your skipper, have the chance to swim safely and respectfully near these gentle creatures, along with colorful fish and coral formations. It's a magical, serene experience — a must for nature and ocean lovers. After your turtle swim, have time to relax at one of the island’s beautiful northern beaches such as Mont Choisy or Pereybère. Enjoy a refreshing drink, take a stroll, or simply soak in the sun and sea views. Your guide will then take you on a journey to explore some of the North’s most iconic locations, including Cap Malheureux, a picturesque fishing village famous for its bright red-roofed church, 'Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice,' and panoramic views of Coin de Mire island. Visit Grand Baie, a lively coastal town where you can shop, grab a snack, or simply take in the seaside buzz. Enjoy an optional local Mauritian lunch at a beachside or village restaurant (additional cost or included depending on the package). Expect fresh seafood, grilled meats, or vegetarian dishes infused with island spices. Depending on time and interest, your guide may include a stop at a local handicraft market, sugar museum, or the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden in Pamplemousses — home to giant water lilies and over 600 plant species (entry fee applies). After a full day of exploration and adventure, be comfortably returned to your hotel between 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM, with amazing memories and photos in hand.
